Upgrade StorageIssue with citation numbers changing
I have 74 citations, I am verifying that they are correct and appear in my library.
Issue 1: I get halfway through this long document in verifying the references are linked to the correct author/article and discover the numbers have changed. If I was clicking on reference #60 superscript, when I get to the end of the document it says I have 120 references listed (like superscript 120) but again, there are only 74 citations available. Where did the extra numbers come from and what are they linked to? What is being listed?
Issue 2: if I open a new document to restart the verification process, the names are correct with the linked citations BUT they do not show up in my library with a new word document. But isn't Zotero separate from Word?
Can someone please help?

And if you insert a bibliography, does that go from 1-120? Also, how are you 'verifying' citations: I don't understand how the document changes as you are doing so?
1. Using APA7, and I am verifying that the links to a chapter in a book are matching up with the reference list and using Zotero.
The bibliography is listed at the end of the chapter.
So for chapter 9 there are 73 citations listed and then 74-76 are "i, ii, iii" found throughout the chapter. I downloaded the chapter from Scholastica on to a .docx and installed the Zotero plug in. When I selected the "add/edit citation" button to see if the number listed matches the linked references, it had a superscript of "77, 78" but again, there were only 73 citations (technically 76 with the i/ii/iii) but where did the 77 and 78 come from? Plus when I select it, the citation links to a random article within the library.

I don't understand how the document changes numbers either, because again there were only 74-76 listed and yet Zotero linked it to a random name in the library.
I opened up new docs of the downloaded manuscript from Scholastica and also viewed the document in a browser, and the superscript numbers are back to normal with just 73 citations listed at the bottom of the bibliography.
I wouldn't expect Zotero to be able to do anything with a version of a chapter downloaded from Scholastica.
Can you take step back and explain what you would like Zotero to do exactly? It doesn't seem like you're using it for referencing (which is what the Word add-on is for). I don't think there's a way to productively use it to check existing references of an finished/almost finished manuscript, but it's possible I'm still not understanding correctly.
(Also, the style in your document has nothing to do with APA 7, it looks to be some Vancouver variant)
